Yesterday was the second day of the
Northwestern rowing regatta at Hotel
Lafayette, and proved grand success.
being attended by large crowd of peO-
pie from ST. Paul and Minneapolis, and
also from various points aroun3 t &c lake.
The numerous small steamers were
loaded with passengers, who encour-
aged their favOrite OarSmen with loud
cheering. The first race of the day was
the four-oared between the Minnesota
Seniors, Pullman Seniors and Mime
sofa Juniors, and was won by the Min
nesOta Seniors. Col. Warren Granger
was referee, and Mr.. Wheat, OF ST.
Paul, and ChaS. Libby. of the Lurin2S,
acted as judges. The crews were as
follows:
Minnesota Seniors-W S. Getty bow,
Perry Parker =, X. Baxter 3, j. j. Parker
stroke.
Minnesota Juniors crdway bow, r. Bax-
ter 2. j. E. Jaggerd j. Brown stroke.
Pullman Senlors-Ed Frazier bow. James
Jennings ., Harry Madden 3, Ed Mnlo stroke.
The Pullman's were given the inside,
with the MinneSOta's on each side. The
Juniors took the water first and held
the lead around the three-quarter mile
buoy. They took 36-strOke. while the
Seniors took SO and the Pullman's Il
81 at first, finally dropping down to 4S.
On the home stretch the Minnesota sen-
iOrs gradually pulled ahead, and in spite
of the eXertiOns of the Juniors came in
a length and half ahead of the Juniors
and about four lengths ahead of the
Pullmans. The time made by tie Min
neSota seniors was 10:43, which was un-
usually good, considering the rough
condition of the lake at the time. The
next race, and the one attract
ing the most interest, was the
teur champion of the United States, and
j. f. Muchmore, the champion of the
Northwest. MucnmOre took the lead
and held it to the three-quarter mile
buoy, but here he passed way beyond,
and Corbett got lead by turning inside
close to the buoy. COrbett kept the lead
all the way home, though MuchmOre
made strenuous efforts to squirt
ahead. The time made by COrbett
was 10:41, while Muchmore came in 2
seconds later. The final race, and one
by no means lacking in interest, was
the junior double between the LurlineS
and the Minnesotas. The Lurline
double had withdrawn on account of a
death in the bow mans family. In
order to fulfill the programme II. W.
III. u. vi tLc
lines. were substituted to race against
the Minnesota crew, consisting of }. f.
Jaggard and K. Baxter. The
crews started together and main
tanned their position to the
buoy, when the Minnesotas began
to pull ahead and continued gaining up
TO the home buoy. coming in several
lengths ahead of the Lurlines. The
time made by the Minnesota was IL: AS.
After the races the crews took dinner
at the Lafayette, which was followed
by a banquet given by the Minnesotas.
The prizes which had been expected
failed to make their appearance.
j. f. Korf, who is one of the cham
pion amateur double crew of the United
States, Weinand being the other stated
that the Friday double race, in which
the Lurlines, of Minneapolis, won. was
unfair, because Corbett had been sub
stituted in his place. He thinks that
the race should be tried over again. and
challenges, with his partner, Weinand.
MuchmOre and his partner to a rowing
race at Calhoun, either for fun or for
prize. Mr.. KOrf feels very much hurt
about being left out of the race, as he
left his business and has incurred con-
siderable expense in coming to Mime |
tonka for the purpose of entering the
race
